According to the Indianapolis Star, two weeks before Irsay's arrest, a woman named Kimberly Wundrum died of a suspected drug overdose at a townhouse given to her by Irsay last August.

Meanwhile, Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman, writing for TheMMQB.com last week, contrasted the differences between Irsay, a white owner, and former Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson, a black player accused of gang ties.

"Commit certain crimes in this league and be a certain color, and you get help, not scorn," Sherman wrote. "Nobody suggested the Colts owner had 'ties' to drug trafficking, even though he was caught driving with controlled substances … and $29,000 in cash to do who-knows-what with."
